| Subject: | Re: Stall Warning System installation |
Tony, I didn't follow the start of this thread, but if it isn't too late
I would put in a SmartASS 3 rather than the Europa stall warner - it is
much more effective and much likelier to save your life. The problem
with the stall warner is that it makes a fairly modest squeak in your
headrest. Modern headsets are designed to keep almost all of that noise
out (aggravated by creeping deafness for some!).On top of that it sounds
for much of the take off and landing runs , particularly in a mono, so
that you become entirely accustomed to ignoring it. Most stall spin
fatal accidents happen in spite of a conventional stall warner, but
there have been none in planes equipped with a SmartASS and I know of a
case where an experienced pilot has been 'saved' by his SmartASS after
an EFATO - that is to say that his speed had decayed very dangerously
before Helen (the lovely lady inside the SmartASS ) brought him to his
senses. An equivalent and I suspect equally effective system is the
relatively new Bendix King KR10, but that costs 10 x as much and seems
unnecessary unless you are flying a certified airplane.
Will happily send you more info if you are interested. - on reflection
as this is a topic of some significance to Europas I will post the
contents of the Article on Stall/Spin accidents and how to prevent them
(previously published in the Europa Flyer) onin the Flying Section of
the club website (www.theeuropaclub.org [10])

Tony, I attach an article I wrote for our LAA mag last year which has
much relevant detail. You can google Smart Avionics and get details of
how to get a SmartASS. All the best, David
